Leans Right
Primary
The film's central conflict and its resolution are largely apolitical, focusing on individual ingenuity and a classic good-vs-evil narrative rather than promoting specific political ideologies or systemic critiques.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast and no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative is a straightforward family comedy that does not engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Flubber is a family comedy centered on a quirky professor, his scientific invention, and his heterosexual romantic relationship. The film does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or plotlines, resulting in no impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1997 film "Flubber" is a remake of "The Absent-Minded Professor" (1961). Key characters like Professor Brainard and his love interest retain their original genders from the source material. New characters introduced in the 1997 version, such as Weebo, do not constitute a gender swap as they lack prior canonical gender.
Flubber (1997) is a remake of The Absent-Minded Professor (1961). All major characters, including Professor Philip Brainard and Sara Jean Reynolds, were portrayed by actors of the same race as their predecessors, with no changes to established racial identities.
